Yes, OKC could very well be putting it together at the right time. That pretty much leaves the five seed for anything more than a <5% chance at winning our first round series.
Houston at 6-4 is one of only three teams in the West (GS and SA both 9-1) with a winning record over their past ten games. I guess everyone is limping into the playoffs.
John Henson smacks Matt Barnes lay-up out of bounds and takes a second technical for taunting. Barnes is also ejected, and runs down the tunnel looking for him.
A game or two later and it's still only three West teams above .500 over the last 10, but with the Condors, I mean, Clippers, replacing Houston. The East, on the other hand, has seven such teams, including the top six in the standings.
http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/01 Hoops Rumors has interesting stuff, but no one reads it because 1) pages turn as fast as glaciers rolling by. 2) It's almost impossible to copy and paste from its pages. 3) Even if anyone could find success when clicking its pages, no one would post comments because of its clownish comment policy.

Rockets losing, Jazz losing. Hopefully the Clippers can beat the Grizz. Blazers can really gain some separation with a two game sweep of the Mavs.
Look what the Spurs did to the Warriors (Held them to 76 points) and tell me you still want to see us play the Spurs in the first round.
